Looks like you don't answer this much but here is goes anyway.....I have legitimate Apple computers while my friends have hackintosh's computers. They are stupid which is why I credit them for buying a watered down version of the real thing BUT you obviously know your stuff. After 25+ years with Apple "WHY" do you prefer a Hackintosh. Thank you for your response and I mean no disrespect. Lincoln

Hey man, Future Shop and BBY canada iventories are showing that iPads are in transit. For the moment, I can't give any specific details as to stock level, the system is showing 5 of each model in transit, which IMO doesn't make sense, since the max stock level is also at 5.... CHQ usually changes those at last minute, i'm sure you can guess why :P I'd show a screenshot, but iI like my job :P I'll send pics of the stock arriving though :P. Apparently, pre-orders placed in France are already shipping too... but you must already know that :P I pre-oredered on day 1 for Intl release, still not showing as shipped in Canada.

Basic Information

About Paul Daniel Ash

Biography:

I am an enthusiast with over twenty years' experience on the Mac... pretty much as long as there has been a Mac. I started my career with a 512e and installed the 1MB RAM upgrade to make it a Plus. I achieved Apple Authorized Systems Engineer status in 1988, and installed some of the first Macs at Pacific Bell and PG&E. I ran a NeXT-authorized service center in the 90s, and continued to have Macs as my career moved me into the Cisco realm, later setting up some of the first wireless LANs using a mix of Cisco Aironet and AirPorts. I networked a school in rural Hawai'i that was abunch of tents and tarps surrounding an old warehouse with an AirPort Base Station and a G4 running Mac OS Server.

I'm fascinated with the future of the Apple/iPhone ecosystem as the line between desktop and smartphone continues to blur, and am constantly on the lookout for clues about what's coming next.
